If you didn’t bring your A+ game to Dinwiddie in qualifying, chances are you were going to be a spectator on Sunday at the NHRA Virginia Nationals.

Ranging from top qualifier Greg Anderson's 6.554 to No. 16 qualifier Steve Spiess' 6.590, the event marked the quickest field of Pro Stock cars ever assembled.

Ranging from top qualifier Greg Anderson's 6.554 to No. 16 qualifier Steve Spiess' 6.590, the event marked the quickest field of Pro Stock cars ever assembled.

"It's an honor just to be in this field, let alone to be the No. 2 qualifier," Coughlin said. "We were No. 1 after that round but Greg managed to equal our ET in the fourth session and he got the No. 1 spot on speed, but that takes nothing away from our effort.

"Being in the quickest field ever tells me that all 16 cars are going to be tough and all 16 teams are going to bed tonight thinking they've got a car that can win this race. It's gonna be on the drivers again tomorrow and I like our chances."

Four of the seven non-qualifiers in Pro Stock turned in the quickest runs of their career. Twelve of the sixteen qualifiers turned in their personal bests just to gain a berth and three turned in their best performance of 2008.

The four who didn’t notch personal bests laid down their best runs of the season.
